--------------------------------------------
{quote}The ICC has free sRGB profiles here which we should use instead.{quote}
Those profiles have a similar license:
{quote}
To anyone who acknowledges that the file "sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black scaled.icc"
is provided "AS IS" WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, permission to use,
copy and distribute these file for any purpose is hereby granted without fee,

and that the name of ICC shall not be used in advertising or publicity
pertaining to distribution of the software without specific, written prior
permission. ICC makes no representations about the suitability of this software
for any purpose.

The sRGB profile isn't really necessary, one copy is in a test branch and the
other one in the examples subproject.
